Lyrics of 'Mississipi' by Toby Johnson

I've been searching for the higher ground
I've heard some stories about the Ghost in this town
I would tell you if you stick around

For Mississippi

Take all of my money cause it doesn't by love
Give me all your time because it's never enough
In a moment of madness

Take me to the moment where we fell in love
Through Mississippi

In a moment of madness
I jumped into your wishing well
With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down
I'll count on you
To seal the wholes in my false hope
You'll be my river when I'm all alone
And in return I'll sail your shores
I hope your tidal wave falls short
Please fall short

I've been trying to read your thoughts
I don't think that your reasons were enough
I'll build myself a raft and sail the great ocean
To Mississippi

Darling I must ask is there love in your blood
Darling I must have you ever know love
I'll question every aspect and if your the one
Oh Mississippi

You felt our love and you broke both arms
You tried and tested every part
I think you wasted our last chance
Oh Mississippi

Your river banks weren't strong enough
You hide your tears and you shook them off
Six's weeks in your care did strain
Mississippi

In a moment of madness
I jumped into your wishing well
With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down
I'll count on you
To seal the wholes in my false hope
You'll be my river when I'm all alone
And in return I'll sail your shores
I hope your tidal wave falls short
Please fall short

When the bank caves in
And you flood the towns with water from the gulf
Lake eye tides they flow
Your the start of something that was beautiful

I can fix you
I can mend you
I can make you run again
Like you used to
Like your meant to
We can drown just like we planned

In a moment of madness
I jumped into your wishing well
With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down
I'll count on you
To seal the wholes in my false hope
You'll be my river when I'm all alone
And in return I'll sail your shores
I hope your tidal wave falls short
Please fall short
